There is no Wolfeboro sensor. Many sites will display whatever town you wish, but use the data from the nearest reporting station-- in your case, Laconia.
Some sites such as weather.com feed all the stations in a given area into a database and interpolate it to fill in the gaps. This is how they report temps for places that have no actual reporting station.
It appears someone went over and gave the Laconia station a good whack with a rolled up newspaper this morning. It's functioning normally now.
